only because he wins all the polls in drumming/metal magazines but i definitely always think of them as his band.
with f,r i was reading nme every week when they were just starting to get coverage and they didnt half harp on about that label.

when I watched Almost Famous the other week (because they have that argument where the singer feels ignored). There's not many really, although as people have said Fall Out Boy are the archetypal modern example. TV On The Radio is a good one because of Dave Fridman too.

kiss: originally this thread was going to mention battles and kiss. however i looked at wikipedia and it said that gene was lead singer. if not as much as thother guy, then at least enough to be called lead singer. i dont know them well enough to make a judgement. hes def the most famous tho
the rest have been covered tho

Definitely more famous for Keanau Reeves on bass than anything else, and I think you can make a case for them not just being a vanity project, as their Wikipedia page (ooh!) reveals they actually played together for years.

I'm not saying that doesn't mean they sucked, mind! I was there at Glasto '99!
